All of the available pings to use as of V0.5.0.

The Ping system allows players to send quick messages to communicate with other members of their team. Players can use the ping system by pressing T and moving their cursor to one of the 8 available pings in the wheel. Pings will target the area highlighted on the player's crosshair and briefly show to other teammates before fading away. The selected ping will also appear in chat in the format of "[playername]: Ping dialogue".

Using 3 pings within a short timeframe will disable the player's ability to use pings for a short period. Pings can still be used while the player is dead. Pings will be visible to the player for 8 seconds before disappearing. Any ping outside of the player's screen will be indicated on a side of the screen corresponding to their direction.

Players can use certain pings without bringing up the ping wheel.

  • Pressing C uses the Heal ping.
  • Pressing V uses the Enemy ping.
  • Pressing B uses the P! ping.

All pings can be used by clicking T + the designated number key for that ping.

  • 1 = Hello
  • 2 = P!
  • 3 = Heal
  • 4 = Enemy
  • 5 = Yes
  • 6 = No
  • 7 = Help
  • 8 = Thanks
